This could be a good summer for tourism in Gibraltar
The Rock is looking forward to welcoming back some of the cruise ships which bring thousands of visitors

This summer could bring a boost for tourism, the Gibraltar government believes, as this could be one of only a few places on the 'green list' of permitted destinations for travellers from the UK.
Gibraltar has flights from several UK airports, is easily accessible and offers a wide variety of attractions for visitors of all ages.
Its latest attraction, however, is one the tourism authorities never expected to add to the list: the vast majority of the Gibraltar population has been vaccinated.
Many people in the UK are longing to get away for a holiday after so long with no chance to travel, and the safety of a destination is something that will undoubtedly be taken into consideration.
Controls will still be in force at the airport, such as negative Covid tests or vaccine certificates, for safety reasons.
Cruise ships
Gibraltar is also looking forward to welcoming back some of the cruise ships which bring thousands of visitors to the Rock, as they are due to start arriving again next month..
